Dear J:

About those “overprotective mothers”- who is to protect you from your “overprotective mother”?

If she asks you questions at the end of the day that bother you, that distress you, then asking those questions are not protecting you from anything. Instead these questions are adding to your anxiety and distress. So what is happening in reality is that your mother is making you sick but will be there to help you if you get too sick.

Better get away from her overprotection which is making you sick. Same with the church people- if church is supposed to help you, well… it isn’t.

Your life will be easier, way easier, if you don’t have to carry the burden you are carrying. It is easier to move around without the extra weight.
